Well it's monday... and how are you all doing?

My scale is once again up. I don't get it, but right this moment, I'm anxiously awaiting seeing my surgeon. Why? I'm in a world of pain, and they're thinking hernia, or interseption. I see him at 5 pm. My stomach is bloated, and I'm in a WHOLE WORLD of pain. On a 0-10 it's a constant 9, yesterday was worse. I'm throwing up, swollen, and nauseated.

So I started my search for the 160's at 185, and with the swelling and crap going on. My scale said today 190. I don't get it.

 oh wow, i hope you start feeling better after talkimg with your dr.. im hoping its nothing too serious!! 
im down 6 pounds since i first commented on ur xmas goals.. leaving me 17 more to lose before i wanna dec 4... and 22 before xmas 

with be thinking of you and sending you good healthy vibes!! pls keep us posted!! good luck!! 

Checking in! Loss has definately slowed lately....but I lost a pound this week. 21 more pounds to go!

I hope you get some answers and relief today.  If you have a lot of swelling the scale may be up because of water weight. 

I am down 2.5 pounds this week putting me at 6  pounds since I started.  1 more pound and I will be in wonderland.  15 more pounds to reach my Christmas goal.

I did not see this before, is it too late to join up? 

I hope you get some answers today!!!

never to late... will post the updated list, with accomplishments tomorrow (if I'm home )

I would like to lose 25 more lbs by Christmas.  (More would be welcomed)  :) 

I've been in the stall to end all stalls....and after all the walking I did this weekend at the MLK Memorial Dedication and Occupy DC events, the scale moved this morning...down 5 pounds!!!

I'm not sure if my goal is logical or even practical at this point (lose 39 pounds by Christmas to reach 275) but I'm gonna keep on pusing on.

 OK so i said i wanted to lose 40 lbs by then..i think i must have been on some sleep meds or something that night...lol i could do this but i think i shot to high.  So i am going to say i want to lose 30 lbs by December.  I have lost mayb 6 or 7 lbs since the original post and i am about 243 right now.  This would put me at about 220 at that point in time.  Wow i was a bit less than that when i married my husband 10 years ago...Soon he will really see the real me...ok i will NOT change that number again i promise..lol

Teri i hope you feel better and i will be sending good vibes to you.  If you have your gallbladder, then i am going to go with the gallbladder.  
 Take care,
Laurie

 I'm down 4 pounds this week!  Woohoo!! My *dream* goal would be to be below 200 for Christmas,so 43 pounds total, but my goal based in reality is to lose 30 pounds.  26 to go!

  BUT I'm lagging on my other goal of getting to the gym.  I only went once last week.  I know it's better than nothing, but I'm still a bit frustrated with myself!  Happy week everyone!
